Mount Washington Observatory Weather Discovery Center

Another fun and interesting part of North Conway is the Mount Washington Observatory’s Weather Discovery Center. Visitors will walk through a replica of the famous 1934 Stage Office where the violent 231-mph world record wind was measured.

You will also learn how to make a weather observation as you listen to the howls and murmurs of summit winds. Visitors can even act like the mythical Aeolus and take control of wind speed and direction while watching the impact of turbulence, eddies, snowdrifts and mountain winds of the natural world.

Electronically the Center is connected to the Summit Observation Station for on-the-spot weather charts, graphs and reports. The Weather Discovery Center is located on Main Street in North Conway Village and is now open year-round. For additional information call 356-2137 or visit them on-line at mountwashington.org.
